Nutrition Transition and Traditional Food Cultural Changes in Sri Lanka during Colonization and Post-Colonization
(2018-07-13)

Governance for Decent Work in Agricultural Globalisation
(2021)
In the past decades, the agricultural world has become smaller as international food businesses have become organised around a global production network. One of the main factors for the introduction of a more decentralised and flexible food and agricultural system was the wage difference between Global North and Global South actors. In addition, Global South countries have facilitated the spread of Global Agricultural Value Chain/Global Agricultural Production Networks (GAVC/GAPNs) through promoting export processing ...
